Kanye West to play the Glastonbury music festival -

Kanye West is set to play the Glastonbury music festival.

The 'Love Lockdown' star is planning to make a guest appearance with protege

Mr. Hudson at the world-famous British music event in June - even though he

doesn't believe rappers should perform at the festival.

Mr. Hudson - whose new album 'Straight No Chaser' was co-produced by Kanye -

told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "We're going to do the festivals together

and we're looking forward to that.

"Glastonbury will be huge. Kanye doesn't really do mud or rain but I hope he

will be with me. I think there's a good chance."

Kanye - whose close pal Jay-Z controversially topped the bill at Glastonbury

last year - confirmed he is hoping to perform at the Somerset event, even

though he believes only rock acts should be booked.

He said: "We've toured together a lot so it's a real possibility.

"I do agree with the idea you have to play guitar or some other kind of

instrument at a festival. Hudson is a truly talented singer and performer

who plays guitar and piano.

"You can take his record all the way to the festivals."

Kanye is a keen supporter of British music and after helping Estelle revive

her career with their hit 'American Boy' last year, he is keen to work with

more UK acts.

He explained: "I've always liked the UK and I've always taken a lot of my

style and energy from the UK and UK bands.

"This is my way of giving something back by supporting these artists. I will

definitely have a place in the UK eventually."

Well there was something about Kanye supporting Mr Hudson last week. I take it as he will be there supporting him and I am very, very hopeful that he will be on the Park in one of the secret slots!

This has been going around for a while now i wouldn't be surprised if this was all a ploy to build some hype and get loads of people will go see his so called protege mr hudson .I just think the guy is smug and i don't like smug people but thats only my opinion.
